After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

Ruan Jiu was so wronged. In just a few days, he himself didn't know what happened, neither Liang Guo's side nor Jiwu's side. He didn't know what to do at all.

Now I finally see my former friends, but they are all in a mess, looking like they just escaped from hell.

He hugged Yan Ning and cried for a long time. Yan Ning patted his back and coaxed him gently for a while before coaxing him well.

Ruan Jiu wiped his eyes, stood up, and wiped Yan Ning's face again.

He had washed his face in Xiyuan when he came, but the wound on his face, which was scratched by the sword, was blown by the wind and split open again. The blood and dust were mixed together, which was very pitiful.

Ruan Jiu helped him wipe his face clean, then turned to look at Xiao Mingyuan and Wei Xu, both of them were not in good condition.

Wei Xu broke his hand, and it was still fixed with a branch, and he also limped when he walked.Xiao Mingyuan was not much better, his left shoulder was still wrapped with a bandage, because the wound was split open, blood had already soaked through the entire bandage, and soaked through half of the clothes that didn't fit well.

Ruan Jiu subconsciously tried to wipe his eyes again, but was held down by Yan Ning.

His hands just touched Yan Ning's face, it was dirty.

Ruan Jiu came back to his senses and first asked, "Is my family okay?"

Yan Ning said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Ruan Jiu was relieved when he saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and said softly, "Let's go and treat the wound first."

Xiao Mingyuan didn't speak, just glanced at He Lianzhu who was still standing in the shadow of the city wall, then looked at Ruan Jiu,

Ruan Jiu understood, trotted towards He Lianzhu, grabbed his sleeve and tugged.

"Little pig..." Ruan Jiu looked around and suddenly didn't know how to address He Lianzhu.

He never cared about the identity of the secret agent, and began to warn him all the time, stay away from Helian Zhu, and don't get close to him.

Ruan Jiu withdrew his hand: "Great...king? Can you..."

He Lianzhu looked down at him, startling him again.

Ruan Jiu knew that, as a spy, it would be a great benefit for Helian to spare his life, and he shouldn't make such excessive demands.

How could He Lianzhu fail to notice his change?

A little cautious, a little scared.

He Lianzhu pursed the corners of her lips in displeasure, as if they were pursed into a straight line.

Of course he didn't go towards Ruan Jiu, but the guilty Ruan Jiu certainly didn't think so.

"Why don't I..."

He Lianzhu held his hand forcefully, asking him to put his hand on his sleeve, without saying a word, it was regarded as acquiescing.

Ruan Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and then He Lianzhu helped him put on the hood, and led him back.

Ruan Jiu waited for Xiao Mingyuan and the others outside the city gate for a long time, and went back to eat something casually. If Ulan hadn't said that the doctor was still treating their wounds, Ruan Jiu would have gone to find them immediately.

It was too late now, Ruan Jiu met He Lianzhu's dark eyes, thought for a while, and retreated to the bed.

"Then I'd better go to bed first."

He Lianzhu was not used to Ruan Jiu like this, so he restrained his sun-like light, which was soft and docile like moonlight.

Ruan Jiu turned his back to him, knelt on the couch and began to make the bed.

This was what Helian Zhu did in the past.

He Lianzhu looked at Ruan Jiu's back, he came in a hurry without bringing any clothes, he was still wearing He Lianzhu's middle coat, he was always so thin, wearing Helian Zhu's clothes, loose and loose, just looking at him To slide off the shoulders.

He Lianzhu licked his back molars, stepped forward, wrapped his waist with one hand, and lifted him up from the bed.

Ruan Jiu was so small that he lifted him into the air for a moment.

He turned back to look at Helian Zhu, his eyes filled with panic.

Obviously, he is now a secret worker, and he no longer has the confidence to argue with Helian Zhu, and he has no choice to refuse.

He Lianzhu was unhappy in his heart, and the look in his eyes became more and more gloomy.

How did Ruan Jiu know where he offended him?

He Lianzhu stared at him for a long time, and finally just lowered his head and buried his head on his shoulder.

He couldn't say it, he couldn't say it at all.

When Mingming was young, he would open his mouth to say words of liking and admiration to Ruan Jiu, and he had to say a few words of liking every day before he would stop.

I didn't expect that after growing up, he would become so reserved. Ruan Jiu was cautious, why wasn't he?

And Ruan Jiu raised his hand and tried to touch his hair. He didn't know what to say, but he just said silently in his heart, I'm sorry, I failed your trust.

After blowing out the candles, He Lianzhu hugged Ruan Jiu in his arms and lay down on the couch.

If you can't say it, it's better to show it with actions.

Quiet and peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Jiu quietly opened his eyes.

He really couldn't sleep, and couldn't wait until tomorrow.He knew that Xiao Mingyuan and the others must have not slept, and they must still be discussing countermeasures when such a big incident happened.

Ruan Jiu tried to push He Lianzhu's arm across his waist, but he couldn't push it a few times before, and then he finally pushed it. Afraid of waking He Lianzhu up, he quickly raised his head to look at He Lianzhu.

Fortunately, He Lianzhu was still sleeping with his eyes closed.

Ruan Jiu looked at him, at first he was a little guilty and cautious, but after staring at him for a long time, for some reason, he wanted to laugh.

He stretched out a finger and poked He Lianzhu's chin, the finger slid up along He Lianzhu's jaw line, and finally stopped on his temple.

Ruan Jiu came back to his senses, and tried his breath with his fingers foolishly.

He felt that he could judge whether he was asleep by Helian Zhu's breathing.

After coming to the conclusion that He Lianzhu was already asleep, Ruan Jiu pushed his hand away, got out of his arms, and stuffed his own pillow into his arms.

He wanted to bypass He Lianzhu and get down from the end of the couch. When he was about to leave, he thought for a while, pressed He Lianzhu's head, and kissed the corner of his lips with a "chirp".

After finishing this task, Ruan Jiu rubbed He Lianzhu's hair happily, and went out.

Afraid of waking Helian Zhu, he carried his shoes and went outside with bare feet before putting them on.

He just couldn't control it, thinking from his own point of view, it's perfectly normal for Xi Zuo to like his undercover object.

But it's really hard for an undercover target to fall in love with a secret agent.

Ruan Jiu put on his shoes, put on his clothes, held up the candlestick, and prepared to go out to see Xiao Mingyuan and the others.

He didn't turn his head, and naturally he couldn't see through the door. He Lianzhu folded his hands and leaned on the bed, slightly curling the corners of his lips.

Ruan Jiu cautiously slipped out of the room, holding a candle holder and protecting the flickering candlelight with his other hand, walked quickly through the corridor, and stopped in front of Xiao Mingyuan's door.

The light was still on inside, and he was still awake.

Just as Ruan Jiu was about to knock on the door, he heard someone talking inside.

"For the current plan, the only way is to borrow troops from Jiwu, and Your Highness will send troops to serve the king. There should be courtiers supporting the Crown Prince and His Highness, so it's not considered to be an unknown teacher." This was Yan Ning's voice.

"I do not……"

Before Xiao Mingyuan could speak, there was a knock on the door outside.

Yan Ning stepped forward to open the door, saw that it was Ruan Jiu, and let him in sideways.

Ruan Jiu went in with a candlestick and looked at a few friends.

They have all been cleaned up, and the wounds on their bodies have also been treated.

Wei Xu was the most seriously injured, lying on the couch with his hands hanging.Xiao Mingyuan sat on the side with his feet crossed, he didn't pay much attention to these things, just moved casually, and the wound on his shoulder opened again.

As for Yan Ning, he was considered a literati, and at times like this, he was always protected and suffered the least injuries.

Ruan Jiu put the candlestick on the table and sat down on the couch: "I sneaked out to see you, what happened to Daliang?"

Xiao Mingyuan told the story very simply: "Father was seriously ill, and the third elder brother waited on him. He hijacked Father to plot rebellion. In the name of Father, he sent poisonous wine and white silk to several brothers overnight. The eldest brother sent People escorted me out of the city, leaving me alone."

"but……"

If there was still a stalemate in Yong'an, it would be very difficult for the King of England to chase and kill Xiao Mingyuan like this.

In Yong'an City, I'm afraid there are more bad luck than good luck.

Ruan Jiu worried: "Then my family..."

"Your brother originally wanted to stay with my elder brother, but was kidnapped by someone sent by your father. When I left the city, he had already left the city."

"Then my father and mother?"

"They're fine. The third brother is afraid of you and the Ruan family's financial resources, so he won't attack your family at this juncture."

Ruan Jiu frowned: "But, if he ascends the throne..."

"Yeah." Xiao Mingyuan nodded, "After he ascends the throne, sooner or later he will attack the Ruan family, so you have to plan early."

Ruan Jiu raised his eyes: "What about you? What are you going to do?"

Xiao Mingyuan remained silent, just as Yan Ning was about to speak, Xiao Mingyuan knew what he was going to say, turned his head away: "I won't borrow it."

Yan Ning was a little anxious: "Isn't it just that the prince is here..."

"No." Xiao Mingyuan sat up abruptly, "I don't borrow troops from Helian Zhu."

Yan Ning cursed in a low voice: "It's this time, I don't know what's going on." He waved to Ruan Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, come here."

Xiao Mingyuan was dissatisfied: "Stop, don't tell him!"

Yan Ning didn't bother to talk to him, so he pulled Ruan Jiu aside, and discussed with him in a low voice: "We really have no choice, King Jiwu...do you know what he thinks?"

Ruan Jiu thought about it, and finally shook his head.

he does not know.

Yan Ning sighed: "Did the King of England send someone here?"

Ruan Jiu shook his head again: "I'm not sure."

He left Shangjing for two or three days, didn't stay with He Lianzhu for a while, and was only concerned about being sick for a while, of course he didn't know.

He hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be any. I'll go back and ask him."

"No need." Yan Ning patted his head.

Of course he could see that the relationship between Ruan Jiu and He Lianzhu seemed to be a bit stiff, not a good look.

Ruan Jiu is probably walking on thin ice as the queen here. Ruan Jiu will definitely not be able to open his mouth about this matter. How can he ask him?

Yan Ning said: "Since we want to borrow troops, it is natural for us to speak up. Don't meddle in this matter, we will handle it well."

Ruan Jiu said: "I have to go back too, let's go back together. In a few days it will be the king's birthday, and Jiwu may be very busy in the future. If you want to borrow troops, you should mention it to him earlier. You can also say a few words on the side."

Yan Ning lowered his voice even more: "Is your relationship with King Jiwu not good?"

Ruan Jiu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, it's always been fine, but something happened recently."

"It's better to protect yourself. Your father must have made arrangements for the Ruan family. You don't have to worry too much."

As soon as Yan Ning finished speaking, Xiao Mingyuan couldn't bear it any longer. He strode forward and dragged Ruan Jiu away.

"I said don't tell him!"

Ruan Jiu turned his head, and before he could speak, Wei Xu, who was lying on the couch, persuaded him, "Hey, can you please be considerate of me, a wounded person? We need to quarrel."

The three of them stopped talking, and Yan Ning went to take care of Wei Xu and wanted to help him back to his room.

Xiao Mingyuan also looked back: "Don't move around, I'll go to sleep in his room."

"Okay." Yan Ning didn't look back, "My lord, go slowly."

Xiao Mingyuan held up the candlestick with one hand, and dragged Ruan Jiu out with the other.

The two of them went out the door and walked side by side in front of the corridor.

Ruan Jiu turned his head to look, and asked Xiao Mingyuan: "What are you thinking?"

"I……"

"There is no other way."

Xiao Mingyuan stopped and turned to look at him, "Ruan Jiu."

He slightly raised the candlestick in his hand, and placed the dim candlelight in front of him.

Ruan Jiu raised his eyes: "Huh?"

"Am I so useless?"

Ruan Jiu was puzzled.

"I thought Father would be aware of everything, but he didn't. Eldest brother has already put before Father the matter of Third Brother's collusion with the enemy and conspiracy six years ago, and Father still let Third Brother go lightly."

"Brother has been struggling to support him, but he can't be the emperor. I thought my father knew it in his heart, but he doesn't seem to understand it at all. He only cares about playing tricks."

Ruan Jiu raised his hand and patted his arm: "Don't think so."

"He Lianzhu is not like this, right? I also know in Yong'an that he led troops to quell the rebellion at the age of 13, killed his brothers and uncles, and killed his mother to quell the rebellion."

"You can't compare with him, he is not human, he is..." Ruan Jiu thought for a while, then said helplessly, "Wolf, wolf."

Xiao Mingyuan pursed the corners of his lips and said nothing more, Ruan Jiu patted him again: "Your elder brother is still waiting for you in Yong'an City, don't think about it, I'll just go back with you."

Xiao Mingyuan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Ruan Jiu comforted him a few more words before going back.

Xiao Mingyuan called to stop him, and when he turned his head, he handed the candlestick forward: "Take this back."

Ruan Jiu didn't refuse, and reached out to take the candlestick: "Do you know the way back?"

"It's not like you don't even recognize this."

"En." Ruan Jiu said goodbye to him, and walked around the corridor with the candlestick in his hand. The shadow of the lamp flickered for a while, and soon disappeared around the corner.

Xiao Mingyuan folded his arms and walked in the night.

After walking not far along the corridor, he turned back.

He pushed open the door: "Yan Ning, come out."

When Ruan Jiu returned to the room with the candlestick in hand, it was already very late.

There was no movement in the room, so he thought He Lianzhu was still asleep.

Ruan Jiu blew out the candles outside, took off his shoes, put the candlestick outside, held the shoes in both hands, pushed the door lightly and went in, slipped in in the dark, put the shoes away, and then climbed onto the bed.

Unexpectedly, before he climbed in, he was grabbed by the wrist, and he was pulled inside with all his strength.

Ruan Jiu fell on the soft quilt, just about to speak, but found that He Lianzhu didn't seem to wake up.

It can't be a dream, can it?Probably because he was used to it, he subconsciously caught him.

Ruan Jiu comforted himself like this, adjusted his posture, lay down in Helian Zhu's arms, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.

Without hesitation, He Lianzhu pinned down his feet, and then led him towards her.

Ruan Jiu closed his eyes, and vaguely heard a low laugh coming from his throat above his head.He looked up at He Lianzhu, seeing that he didn't move, he suspected that he had heard wrong, and closed his eyes again.

Then He Lianzhu laughed again, and Ruan Jiu looked up at him again, but still didn't see anything wrong.

In the end, He Lianzhu smiled again, Ruan Jiu was prepared, and pinched his mouth with his hand.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"

He Lianzhu bit his finger lightly like a puppy, and ground his teeth: "Where have you been?"

Anyway, he couldn't hide it from him, so Ruan Jiu told the truth: "I went to find Xiao Mingyuan and the others."

"Didn't you tell me to go again tomorrow?"

"I can not wait."

"Is there a result?"

"Hmm..." But Ruan Jiu didn't know how to tell him, and finally said, "Xiao Mingyuan will tell you by himself."

He Lianzhu only asked: "What do you want to tell me?"

"I..." Ruan Jiu also didn't know what to say, "I'll talk to you in a few days."

He Lianzhu comforted him: "The Ruan family will be fine, I have sent someone to watch over it."

Ruan Jiu was a little surprised: "Huh?"

He Lianzhu followed closely: "Even if King Ying becomes the Emperor of Liang in the future, he won't be against..."

"That won't work either." Ruan Jiu suddenly pushed his hand away and sat up, "The king of England cannot be the emperor."

"Why can't he? Even if his methods are not glorious, he is still an emperor based on his ability." He Lianzhu also sat up with his hands propped up, and looked at Ruan Jiu, "With Xiao Mingyuan's ability, it seems that he is not suitable to be an emperor."

Ruan Jiu pushed him hard, but He Lianzhu didn't even shake him.

He knew that he shouldn't lose his temper. Whether Jiwu should interfere in Liang's domestic affairs, how to intervene, and whose side he wanted to stand on was He Lianzhu's discretion, and he had no control over it.

In all fairness, King Ying did have means, while Xiao Mingyuan was a bit inferior.

This is not something he can interfere with.

Ruan Jiu's chest rose and fell, he took two deep breaths, calmed down, and fell back on the couch: "Forget it, go to sleep."

He Lianzhu hugged him from behind, and rubbed his face on the top of his hair: "Ruanjiu, I'm just joking, I will do whatever you want me to do, you can also make Xiao Mingyuan the emperor of Liang, if you want him When, let him be."

Of course Ruan Jiu didn't dare to believe it all, so he answered casually, tilted his head, and buried half of his face in the soft pillow.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Jiu said softly, "I want to go back to Yong'an with them."

He Lianzhu pressed his hair and smelled the faint fragrance of his hair, but his tone was firm: "I don't allow it."
